Hello, everyone, and welcome to day four of home learning!

Hopefully, you had success with your first journal assignment for November, and today I would like you to get started on your second journal entry. 

I will ask that you complete numbers 1 to 5 today of the steps I’ve outlined below:

1. 1.    Select your journal topic.
2. 2.    Preplanning: List all the items you can speak about regarding this topic.
3. 3.    Number the items in the order you would like to present them.
4. 4.    Begin drafting your journal.
5. 5.    Edit your journal.
6. 6.    Prepare a final copy (typed or handwritten in blue or black ink). 

Remember, this month I’m requesting that you pass in your preplanning pages, so be sure to save your copy for each journal. 

I would also like you to spend fifteen minutes reading your personal novel today. 

Thanks, and if you have any questions, let me know!

Important Note:  It is absolutely necessary that you go onto Teams each day at the beginning of English class and send me a notification.  This will inform me that you have seen the day’s assignment(s) and I will be able to record your attendance. 

Here are the PowerPoints.  I finally was able to load them.  Please read my other post as well.  

Hi, Everyone!

By now you should have both of your November journals completed, and I will collect them when we return to in-person learning.  Hopefully, this will be soon!

Today, we are going to begin our Poetry Unit.  Before I assign your poetry project, I would like to have you read some notes on poetry terms and devices. Some of this material will be a review of information you’ve already learned, and some of it may be new to you.  Unfortunately, I was unable to post the PowerPoints on my Teacher Page today, but you will find them on Teams under "Files."  

Read the notes in the following order:

• 1.    Poetry Notes
• 2.    The Language of Poetry
• 3.    The Sound of Poetry
• 4.    Rhythm
• 5.    Rhyme Activities

Just spend the class reading through the five PowerPoints and reach out if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy the rhyme scheme activity.  

Thanks, and have a great day!

Hi everyone!

By now I should have received the final copy of your personal letter.  If you have not yet submitted this assignment, please forward it to me through email or Teams.

For the next couple of classes, I thought we could focus on the November journals.  You have two to complete this month (one assigned topic and one topic of choice), so you can spend today working on your first journal.  In doing so, I would like you to follow the list of steps I’ve outlined below:

• 1.    Select your journal topic.
• 2.    Preplanning: List all the items you can speak about regarding this topic.
• 3.    Number the items in the order you would like to present them.
• 4.    Begin drafting your journal.
• 5.    Edit your journal.
• 6.    Prepare a final copy (typed or handwritten in blue or black ink).  

This month, I’m asking that you to pass in your preplanning page with each of your journals. 

I’ve uploaded your assigned journal topic on my teacher page and on Teams.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.  I’ll be happy to help!

Hello and welcome to day two of home learning!

For today’s class, I would like you to type the final copy of your personal letter, and I’ve uploaded sample letters for you to use as a guide. I recommend using Times New Roman, size 12 font. 

Before getting started, ensure you’ve edited your draft copy properly by going through the following checklist:  

• 1.    My letter is paragraphed properly (introduction, body paragraph(s), conclusion).
• 2.    My sentence structure is correct.
• 3.    I’ve checked my spelling of all words.
• 4.    I’ve read my letter aloud to ensure I haven’t overused any words.
• 5.    My word choice is grade appropriate. 

Once completed, you can submit your letter through email or Teams.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with me.  Have a great day!

Hi, everyone: 

I will ask that you begin working on the Creative Ads Project that I explained to you on Thursday, and I’ve uploaded a copy on my teacher page and on Teams for your convenience.

Remember that you are to take two completely different approaches with each ad you create and be sure to indicate (on the back or bottom of your page) who your target audience is for each.

For inspiration and to help you get started, you may wish to browse magazine ads, newspaper ads, internet ads, etc. and determine the various approaches used. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.  I’ll be happy to help!
